Your welcome I have rebuilt a lot of Flathead water pumps in the last 35 years and still do to this day. Heck I also find the bearing shaft assembly's are available at the bearing supply dealers. Nothing is special about the Flathead water pump rebuild parts those made from 1949 to 53 and the 1948 8BA truck engine. Many pumps not only automotive use the same internal parts learned this a long time ago.
